Often we fall back on examples of penalties to explain our justifications. But what if we could talk about it as a market mover? What if, much as vault salesmen of the 30’s, we could explain that our customers are looking for safety and security, and that if we show them that we may get their business? Equally as important is that when we tackle a compliance requirement, we fail to see how it touches on other regimes. By using a central guidance document such as the critical security controls, we can both see how the work we are doing is improving our security posture and also how it can satisfy other requirements. This way, whether a regulator is looking for NIST or ISO, we can say “Yes we can” to either one. The CIS Controls are our free guidance document and while they will be a part of this presentation, it will not be a sales pitch for them (although can you really sell free?)[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thin_solid”][vc_single_image image=”6582″ img_size=”medium”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1534178688902{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Ryan Spelman
